Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: What are the symptoms and manifestations if the child has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If the child truly has tonsillitis, the first symptom is a sore throat, and because of this, the child will frequently cry due to difficulty swallowing. The child will also have a fever, which can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius in severe cases. This should be taken seriously, and the child will feel weak, have a headache, and in severe cases, even experience chills. At this time, the tonsils will be red and swollen. If the condition progresses, it may lead to serious complications, such as sepsis or acute rheumatic fever. Tonsillitis in children is very serious, and parents should pay close attention and take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
